    “COO COO CACHOO!!”

    Found at peace river (FL). It’s ivory but not like the mammoth or mastodon ivory I’ve seen. My novice research says it’s WALRUS?! Looking for those who know to confirm/deny/educate “coo coo cachoo!” (Beatles pun for those who didn’t catch it). It also dried incredibly quickly when I put water on it - vid is for fun because it kinda blew my mind. Thanks!

    Interesting unknowns

    I went out hunting today, needed the exercise. Predicted afternoon showers, but warm and sunny all morning. I was doing pretty well, constant finds of Bull, Dusky, Tiger shark teeth, mixed with Osteoderms from Alligator, Armadillo, Glyptodon. About 1:30, getting ready to kayak back to my truck in order to beat the rains, I saw something that I did not recognize in the sieve. xx I turned it over and over trying to figure out what it might be... When I saw this next edge, I thought I knew... But maybe I was incorrect. What do you think it is... But I am running out of time.... I spotted a VERY small tooth, complete with roots.... I have a guess but I see what others think. Then a 1st timer for me... and one of my favorites, a Cetacean ear bone and a big one at that... These were all in the same sieve... along with a couple of shark teeth and a large Gar Fish scale... Really fortunate... I left after this sieve because I knew the next sieve likely would not be as good, and if I kept digging, I would get drenched....

    Broken Shovel

    Normally, my hunting season starts in October, and if not then, certainly by November 1st. I normally try to hunt 2-3 times a week, so 30 outings in a 3 month period. In the last 3 months, I have had hunted 6 times. Today was my 7th. This was a very isolated location. Half the outings to this location, I go alone because I love the solitude in nature. I was probing for new and productive spots, and the 1st sieve yielded an Equus Tooth, 8 or 10 small shark teeth, a gator tooth.. Attempting to load a 3rd shovel full, I broke the wooden handled shovel. Large lower hemi, llama incisor, more small teeth and an odd shaped bone in the 2nd (and last) sieve of the day. It might be an earbone, and I have seen a lot of them, closest with a few similar features in this thread. http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/125703-hunting-florida-interesting-finds/ WHATTODO, whattodo... 75 minutes of hard paddling back to my car. Decided to explore for new places. I knew that there was a shell layer close.. I always dream about ageing this layer, and infrequently we find Makos or land mammal close by.... This was my 1st discovery. Recent rains had slpit the mud layer where these pectens decided to reside. Above the mud was a shell layer, a coral caught my eye. I love these small self contained ones.! Some sort of crystallization going on here. Then a frag of mammal tooth?? Some other shells, corals, and a Whale vert (where did that come from?) 1st time back in an area after the rains, can be exciting... Jack
  6. Dear fellow forum members, some years ago I acquired some remnants of an old collection with poor documentation, most fossils where from germany. Among these was a gastropod shell in very light matrix I assumed to be lignite or something similar. Yesterday I found a very similar shell for sale online with the following ID: "Schnecke, Mesontopsis nehringi, Tertiär, Pliozän,Tagenbau Hambach" "Tagebau" is open pit mining, lignite in that case. The one on red background is mine. I think I can assume they are the same species. I just cannot find any information on "Mesontopsis nehringi" except for that online auction. Who knows that snail?

    Looking for an assist in identification

    Hello, Fellow Fossil Enthusiasts! I'm hoping that someone here might be able to help me in identifying these fossils, because I have hundreds of them in various stages of development, and in all of my research I have yet to find anything that remotely resembles what I've got! That is, until I found this forum - I've seen a few fossils identified here that were the very first that closely resembled what I've found, so my hope has been renewed that someone out there can help me out. I look forward to what new information might come my way! Scott

    Turbinella streami

    From the album: Gastropods of the Tamiami Formation

    Order Neogastropoda Family Turbinellidae Turbinella streami Petuch, 1991 Stratigraphy: Pinecrest Sand Member of the Tamiami Formation. Location: SMR Phase 7, Sarasota County, Florida USA. Status: Extinct Notes: This species has a shorter spire and more inflated body whorl than T. regina. Quite a bit of variation between T. regina and T. streami exists within the Sarasota area, however I have not seen the same degree of variation within Caloosahatchee specimens of T. regina.

    Turbinella scolymoides

    From the album: Gastropods of the Tamiami Formation

    Order Neogastropoda Family Turbinellidae Turbinella scolymoides Dall, 1890 Stratigraphy: Golden Gate Member of the Tamiami Formation(?). Location: Bonita Grande, Lee County, Florida USA. Status: Extinct Notes: A classic Caloosahatcheean species, it could have originated in the warm coral reef facies of the Tamiami or might be from a more southernly exposure of the Caloosahatchee than previously known. Large with a knobbed shoulder and inflated body whorl.

    Hystrivasum horridum

    From the album: Gastropods of the Tamiami Formation

    Order Neogastropoda Family Turbinellidae Hystrivasum horridum (Heilprin, 1886) Stratigraphy: Golden Gate Member of the Tamiami Formation(?). Location: Bonita Grande, Lee County, Florida USA. Status: Extinct Notes: A classic Caloosahatcheean species, it could have originated in the warm coral reef facies of the Tamiami or might be from a more southernly exposure of the Caloosahatchee than previously known Very constricted at the base and more spinose than other species of Hystrivasum.

    Hystrivasum locklini

    From the album: Gastropods of the Tamiami Formation

    Order Neogastropoda Family Turbinellidae Hystrivasum locklini (Olsson & Harbinson, 1953) Stratigraphy: Pinecrest Sand Member of the Tamiami Formation Location: SMR Phase 7, Sarasota County, Florida USA. Status: Extinct Notes: Less constricted at the base than H. horridum with more subdued ornamentation. This is the common vase shell from the Sarasota shell pits. The genus is overly split and many of the numerous named species from the Tamiami might be variant of this .

    Rediscovery Shells and Fossils

    Cleaning up the backyard today, and rediscovering shells and fossils that I originally found years ago. I think that most of these came from SMR Aggregates outside of Sarasota , Florida. Pliocene 4-5 mya. They were scattered by Hurricane Ian, my job today was to cleanup, sort the keepers from the discards. So a box of Keepers, followed by some closeup photos. Isolated Shell #1 Vasum Isolated Shell # 2 No clue Isolated Shell #3 Good sized Cone Isolated Shell #4 Leafy Jewel Box Included in the mass of debris and shells were other fossils that are my primary curiosity. I can not recall finding these at SMR, BUT the only events where I might have found them were Florida Paleontology Society field trips... Memory is just not that good..... Fossil #5 Silicified Coral ? or Sponge ? or ... Fossil #6 and #7 I think #6 (the larger chunk) is silicified wood... I even imagine that the top layer is bark.... Fossil #7 When I first saw it, I knew it was bone, some sort of silification and considered an ungual. Once I saw the 3rd photo, I was pretty sure on this ID. Pretty neat stuff out in my backyard... I just (re)_noticed that piece of coral in the sieve box, If I get a close _up, @MikeR almost certainly be able to ID it... Thanks for looking... jack
  17. It is from the Pliocene of Sarasota, Florida.
  18. Possible fossil coprolites in Fossil Janthina shell. New Zealand, Kaawa Formation, Opoitian, Pliocene. What was living in this Janthina that produced these faecal pellets? Hermit crab? other Crustacean? Are there any other similar fossils or living examples?
  19. It is from Sarasota, Florida. It is 8 inches

    Holden Beach Diversity Of Fossils

    Recently got back from a trip on Holden Beach, and just WOW. Words can't describe the uniqueness of being able to find Mosasaur teeth next to Megalodon teeth. The recent Hurricane brought in many new fossils and I had quite good luck. Here are some photos of the trip, I will post a picture showing all of my best finds shortly, but for now enjoy! First, here are some of the Squalicorax pristodontus teeth I collected. These were relatively common.
  21. I'm sure ive posted this fossil gastropod before but it must have been quite a few years ago. I've now turned it into a video. Only hard part of prepping out this snail was the rock inside the 'shoulders'. Its a short video. Enjoy https://youtu.be/Dl9yqZRlbg4

    6 small upper horse teeth

    My last time out hunting was 2 weeks ago, just before the deluge. Found some nice items including 2 small upper horse teeth, and then stopped at a hunting friend's home, where he sold me a number of fossils, including 4 additional small horse upper molars. 1st tooth I believe to be Merychippus from the Miocene of Florida. I found/donated one of these to Richard Hulbert, Florida Museum of Natural History 18 months ago. It looks like some HSBs --- Hunter_Schreger Bands are more easily discernible than on Equus teeth. Tooth #2.... One of my finds... a Nannippus I think... there were 4-5 species in Florida Tooth #3 Another Nannippus.... little bit larger... Look at that isolated circle on the left ... I wonder if that is diagnostic. Tooth # 4 is once again larger... might be Nannippus, but I am less sure.... Tooth #5 is not Nannippus,, which leaves lots of other Genus and lastly an interesting , different and slightly damaged tooth... Definitely need a thread to follow on this one... I have sent the Photos to Richard Hulbert, but with his semi_retirement, I would like to start depending on TFF expertise.... Usual suspects, @Harry Pristis, @fossillarry @siteseer @darrow Thanks for any and all insights and threads to follow... as Always I am after Genus, Species, Jaw position. All this starts with Genus.

    Large Mystery Fossil Bones from North Carolina

    These two bones come from North Carolina, and the site they come from produces mostly Cretaceous Black Creek group material, but also some marine Pliocene and terrestrial Pleistocene material. Any help would be appreciated! The first is clearly a limb bone shaft, femur, tibia, something like that. Not sure if it's crocodilian, turtle, dinosaur, or terrestrial mammal though (I'm leaning towards terrestrial mammal). The second bone I'm thinking might be some type of hip bone, I was thinking possibly the ischium of some large croc, but I'm not sure. Could very easily be some random cetacean skull fragment. Edit: I think the second bone may be a crocodile coracoid. That large hole may be the coracoid foramen. Let me know what you think. Bone 1: Bone 2:

    ID help please

    Hi all! It has been a long time since i have made a post here, as i have not been out and about fossil hunting too much. Any ideas on this Fossil bone? Not looking for a specific species, genus would be great though. Miocene to early pliocene. Thanks
